Microsoft 365 & Cloud Engineer
Birmingham – Hybrid (2DPW in office)
Up to £46,000
VIQU are partnering with a well-established organisation undergoing a significant Microsoft cloud transformation. They are seeking a Microsoft 365 & Cloud Engineer to play a key role in modernising their existing infrastructure and supporting the transition from a traditional on-premise environment towards a fully cloud-managed Microsoft estate. This is predominantly a project-focused position, requiring someone with hands-on experience implementing and improving Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra ID environments, rather than simply maintaining established services. Working within a small IT team, the successful candidate will have significant ownership and the opportunity to influence how the organisation's modern workplace and cloud environment develops.
Key Responsibilities of the Microsoft 365 & Cloud Engineer:
- Support the ongoing migration from on-premise and hybrid infrastructure towards a fully cloud-managed Microsoft environment
- Configure, develop and optimise Microsoft Intune, Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and associated Modern Workplace technologies
- Implement and improve endpoint and device management capabilities, including Windows Autopilot, configuration policies and compliance controls
- Review the existing Microsoft environment, identifying areas for improvement and recommending appropriate technical solutions
- Support the migration of users, devices and services away from legacy Active Directory, Exchange and Group Policy infrastructure
- Contribute to security improvement initiatives including Cyber Essentials Plus, vulnerability management, Microsoft Defender and endpoint security
- Support and improve Microsoft 365 services including SharePoint, Purview and wider collaboration and security capabilities
- Assist with the management of remaining on-premise infrastructure during the organisation's transition to cloud
- Work across project delivery and BAU activities within a small, collaborative IT function
